Stress is a killer to the adrenals studies have shown those who read and apply the bible and pray and have faith and act on it handle things that most could not, they also live longer.
Having high cortisone levels can cause much damage in the body. When you are ill some times the adrenals can get stressed from over producing cortisone.
The next thing is to focus on positive things. Look for good in people as much as possible. Take the time to look at the sky, the stars, nature. Do little things that make you happy.
Studies have shown that those who take an interest in others can deal with stress better and are happier so try to help others or just call to so hello and let them know you care.
